Chapter 144 A Ghostly Encounter?
Jiang Liyue was unaware that the welcoming ceremony at Prison No. 1 was not merely a means of intimidating and deterring new inmates.
It is also one of the assessments for new prisoners.
Those who can enter prison are all violent people. When faced with provocations from the old prisoners behind iron bars, the choices made by the new prisoners are part of the assessment.
Endurance and fear? Or anger and resistance?
Even Tuk, who is now being cheered for by other prisoners on the platform, only angrily warned others when he first entered the prison.
Then, in this current phase, he'll show those who mocked him what's what.
Jiang Liyue is the only one who would pull someone out from behind the iron fence and kill them on the spot.
Moreover, the biggest reason she attracted attention was not because she injured someone as soon as she entered prison.
Instead, he pried open the iron fence with his bare hands.
The iron bars of Prison No. 01 are not made of plain iron; at least, they couldn't be pried open with one hand like she did.
He even looked relaxed and spoke to the prison guards with a smile.
In any case, Jiang Liyue's actions are not excusable.
It's a pity the prison guard didn't know what Jiang Liyue was thinking, otherwise he would definitely have had a good talk with her.
At this moment, the players in the stands escaped Tuk's beating once again and fled in relief and fear.
Jiang Liyue could see clearly from a distance that the muscular man named Tu Ke was just deliberately playing with him.
Sure enough, the player was caught again the next moment. After this happened two or three times, Tuk finally stopped restraining himself and started punching the player repeatedly.
At first, the player could still scream, but later he could only exhale more than he could inhale, and he lay on the ground like a limp lump of flesh.
This is the aesthetics of violence, so satisfying!
[Those who read this should watch the live stream more. What kind of violent aesthetics is this? It's just pure violence at best.]
[Poor players, they're like lambs to the slaughter. No wonder Prison 01 is the pinnacle of A-rank dungeons.]
[The game starts with extreme violence, so of course it's more difficult.]
After all, for most players, clearing dungeons simply increases their points and provides them with more items.
Most of the dungeons are brain games where you have to dodge strange attacks.
But when faced with such a real battle, props may not be effective.
A bloody and violent arena—that's the allure of Prison 01.
Only when the player lay on the ground without resistance, his joints all dangling as if they had been smashed, did a prison guard below intervene.
"Tuk, that's enough."
Tuk stopped, looking bored, and kicked the player to the ground: "They're so weak. How can these newbies be so useless? Can't we bring in a stronger one?"
He looked down at the newlyweds, who were huddled together in a corner of the audience, their faces pale.
Jiang Liyue had noticed that area before; those must be the players who entered the instance with her.
Among the crowd, she even spotted familiar faces – Jiang Lingxue and Jiang Zhou, the siblings she had just met at the previous player exchange meeting.
Beside them was a tall, handsome, black-haired man whom Jiang Liyue had never seen before. She glanced at him a few more times and suspected that he might be the male lead in the book, or perhaps a supporting male character.
Anyway, the handsome guy who's always with the female lead can't possibly be without any screen time, right?
When Jiang Liyue first entered the instance, she was standing in the last row. After dealing with the criminal who tried to grope her, she was taken to the interrogation room.
I didn't even realize that I was in the same instance as them.
Jiang Zhou and the others were all looking in the direction of Tu Ke on the high platform, and obviously did not notice Jiang Liyue's presence.
Jiang Liyue has not read the original novel.
Even though I could still recall Su Ye's storyline when I saw her in the previous instance, I had no reaction when I saw the female lead, Jiang Lingxue.
Therefore, Jiang Liyue didn't know whether Jiang Lingxue had ever been to Prison No. 01 in the book, or how she cleared that instance.
Jiang Lingxue seemed to say something to Jiang Zhou, who showed a worried expression, while Jiang Lingxue continued to persuade him with a cold demeanor.
The next moment, Jiang Lingxue stepped forward.
"You want to fight me?" Tuk stood on the high platform and looked down. He saw that the woman looked like she couldn't even kill a chicken, and immediately sneered.
“I’d agree to hit me in bed, but not here,” Tuk said with disdain. “Be careful, or I’ll beat you to a pulp.”
His voice, like his physique, was rough and deep, and as soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter.
"Yeah, little girl, why don't you come to bed with us and fight? I'm sure you'll enjoy it!"
"Tuk, take her down and teach her a lesson!"
Jiang Lingxue hadn't expected these people to be so vulgar and rude. Her eyes flickered for a moment before she maintained her cool expression: "There's absolutely no need for us to fight to the death like this."
“If we newcomers fight you, regardless of who wins or loses, we will both be injured in the end.” Jiang Lingxue remained fearless in the face of danger.
Just before Tuk, there was a fight between a player and a prisoner, and both the prisoner and the player ended up with serious injuries.
Then Tuk appeared.
"We can fight you, but we must first establish the rules."
She appeared remarkably calm as she stood at the front negotiating with Tuk, while the players behind her looked on with gratitude and a hint of admiration in their eyes.
Tuk enjoyed watching these ants struggle, and upon hearing this, he became interested and sneered, "Tell me what the rules are first?"
"We can send three people to take turns taking a punch from you. If none of the three fall down, then this fight will end here, okay?"
"One punch? You don't think you can withstand one punch from me, do you?" Tuk laughed, looking down on them.
After a final round of heated debate, the originally agreed-upon three-person group turned into a five-person group.
Jiang Liyue was getting a little bored watching from the side.
Having acted in so many TV series and movies, she was extremely familiar with the plot where the protagonist uses his wisdom to survive and defeat the villain.
Moreover, she knew that this matter was not over yet. After all, even if it was just to go to Tuk for a round, out of so many players, who would be willing to go?
Sure enough, the players soon erupted into a huge argument.
The prisoners next to them and Tuk on the high platform were getting a little bored while waiting.
He yelled at the prison guard next to him, "By the way, didn't they say that a new inmate crippled that piece of trash 475 today? Where is that newbie? Let her come up here and have some fun with me."
"It seems like they're in an interrogation room, with the adults interrogating them personally." The prison guard was already quite familiar with them, and spoke very casually.
"Then she's doomed." Tuk said with regret. "I wanted to see who could take care of 475."
"She was a beautiful woman. I was right next to 475 at the time, and she looked like an angel with a smile on her face."
"It's just bad luck that 475 tried to take advantage of that woman, and ended up getting beaten up while laughing."
"That woman's smile was rather sinister; it looked sweet, but it always gave me the creeps..."
Someone joined their chat to recount what happened.
As he spoke, he casually glanced around, and as soon as he finished speaking, he met Jiang Liyue's smiling eyes.
"I, I'm fucking..." His eyes widened. Had he seen a ghost?
